When I was small, a friend of mine waved a big plastic bottle at me and asked me if I "wanted some drinking yoghurt?" I pointed out the "do not drink" label, but no, he was convinced this was a big jug of a particularly strange, liquid yoghurt that was briefly popular in the 70s.

He was sick for hours, after consuming a suprisingly large quantity of washing liquid.

My dad.
When setting up a playstation got into a furious rage because he couldn't get it to tune in on the TV and this was after he HAD read all the instructions. In his defence the instructions hadn't told him to turn it on first.

I guess they hadn't reckoned on the technical numpty, which is my old man, not even knowing that much.

Bless him.
